What a ride!

Yesterday I finally was able to meet up with Damien Dela Huerta at a MAM open track event and see that "Yellow Beast" of his up close. Impressive to say the least. The cap to the day was getting a ride and personally being there while he chased down a Porsche GT3 and and a C6... despite having an extra 190lbs on board. My car isn't tracked, so I just don't have the words to describe the experience. LOL, I'm still wearing a big grin on my face.
Just as impressed with Damien and his patience with my questions. He and Andy (also a forum member here) were great to talk to and quality people. Just an outstanding day. Thanks again Damien.

Mods, feel free to move if necessary.

Riding in a race-prepped street car, being driven by a skilled driver, is quite the experience. Its like being in one of those miniture slot cars. Sounds like it was alot of fun, hehe.

Damien was doing the video and Andy had the stills. I'm sure they'll post them, but they'll probably be on Damien's sight.

Sounds like fun ............ if you are confident that the driver has the skill and maturity to keep his passenger safe. It sounds like you got a ride with a driver who posseses both

MAM is a great place to take a ride with someone else or track a car yourself because it's fairly flat, has a nice wide surface, and tons of run-off in case you decide to go four wheels off. Speaking of which, Damian and I had one such excursion after you left Sgtblue... I'm sure there will be some video of that one.
